Who could imagine an epic cross-country road trip taking place to find a lost boot? But this short film, called Beyond Mountains, More Mountains, is about a young couple who do just that, their Italian road trip taking them from the mountains of Northern Italy down to the far south of the country. It’s quirky and surreal and yet wholly endearing; an unusual kind of love story where the journey ends up being for its own sake, and not about the boot at all.

A very fresh take on falling in love, breaking up and making up, the film is written and directed by Canada, starring Viktorija Pacenko and Simone Riccioni.
